Por supuesto, grabaron su aventura, incluida la rápida huida que se vieron obligados a llevar a cabo tras llegar a tierra para evitar ser apresados por la policía del estado árabe. Aquí tenéis el vídeo (el salto tiene lugar a los 4:30 segundos):Unos días después Hervé volvió a saltar desde el Burj Dubai, pero en esta ocasión no tuvo tanta suerte y fue arrestado por la policía.

Review of Emirates A380 First Class, EK001, Dubai – London Heathrow
2008-12-30 20:57:00 I know it’s becoming a little bit of a cliché to talk about how quiet the plane is. There is so little ‘roar’ from the engines on take off that you wonder how this giant hulk of an aircraft is going to build up enough speed to get off the ground. Not sure if it was the quietness of the aircraft or the noise reduction headsets, but I was particularly impressed by the sound quality of the ICE entertainment system on this flight. The large TV screens (23 inches?) in the First Suites help too.
